Your guide to receiving payments

When you set up your account to receive customer payments, you choose your balance currency. CNY is available to individuals and companies; USD is available only to eligible companies. This choice is fixed. Your customers pay in BRL via Pix, and you receive funds in your chosen currency.

Complete KYC/KYB as early as possible — it is required to receive payments — to avoid blocks.
Before scaling, review Disputes and standardize what evidence you keep.
Finally, review Guarantees/Reserved balance and Fraud Prevention to reduce holds and losses.

Typical workflow (in 1 minute)

Here's how to receive payments from your customers in Brazil:

Create a Payment link in BRL for your Brazilian customer.
Ask the payer to use Pix and confirm the payment inside ByteMax (not only screenshots).
Check the transaction in your Wallet and save the Order ID / Payment ID for reconciliation.
Withdraw CNY or USD when needed; for an eligible refund, use only the action on the original order.
If a dispute happens, respond fast with minimal, well-organized evidence (use UTC + BRT timeline).

FAQ

Is KYC/KYB required to receive payments?: Yes. To receive payments, ByteMax requires KYC (individual) or KYB (business), in any country. Until verification is approved, the Receive button in your Wallet is unavailable.
How do I confirm a payment safely?: Confirm it on the payment page and in your Wallet on ByteMax. Avoid releasing goods/services based only on bank app screenshots.
Where can I see the payer name and document?: When available, the payer's name and masked CPF/CNPJ appear on the payment's row in your Wallet and on the payment's page, under “Paid by”. Use them only for reconciliation and fraud prevention.
Where do I check limits and fees?: Check the minimums, limits, and fees on the transaction page. If you can't continue, send support the order or payment ID and the message shown.
